[Jack Aylmer]
A STRING OF HIGH PROFILE BURGLARIES IS CROSSING OVER FROM THE TURF TO THE HARDWOOD.
WHILE CELTICS BASKETBALL PLAYER JAYLEN BROWN WAS DRIBBLING DOWN THE COURT IN WASHINGTON D.C., POLICE WERE RESPONDING TO HIS MOM’S HOUSE FOR A REPORTED BREAK-IN.
ON SUNDAY, MASSACHUSETTS POLICE FOUND A BROKEN WINDOW AT THE RESIDENCE BUT NOTHING INSIDE WAS TAKEN.
BROWN SPOKE OUT AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON THURSDAY THANKFUL HIS MOM AND NEPHEW ARE SAFE, BUT WAS SHOOK UP ABOUT THEIR SECURITY BEING COMPROMISED.
(JAYLEN BROWN: “Thank God nothing serious or physical or threatening happened, but the fact that it could have just kind of lingers in your mind.”)
LESS THAN TWENTY MINUTES AWAY, BROWN’S ASSISTANT COACH ALSO EXPERIENCED A BURGLARY THAT SAME DAY. LAW ENFORCEMENT SAY JEWLERY WAS STOLEN FROM THE HOME.
LOCAL POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING AND LOOKING FOR A SUSPECT…THEY URGED THE COMMUNITY TO USE HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS IF POSSIBLE.
ITS A MESSAGE ECHOED BY THE NFL AS PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES HAVE BEEN THE TARGET OF BURGLARIES.
MOST RECENTLY THE HOMES OF FOOTBALL STARS JOE BURROW, PATRICK MAHOMES AND TRAVIS KELCE WERE HIT.
WHILE IT’S UNCLEAR IF THE SERIES OF BREAK-INS ARE CONNECTED.
THE NBA ISN’T TAKING CHANCES, WARNING OTHER PLAYERS, SAYING THE FBI BELIEVES A SOUTH AMERICAN GROUP MAY BE BEING BEHIND THE CRIMES.
THE CELTICS ARE WORKING WITH AUTHORITIES IN THEIR INVESTIGATION AND SAY THE SAFETY OF PLAYERS AND STAFF IS NUMBER ONE FOR THE TEAM.
